Lightkeeper's Daughter: Mercy Falls Series, Book 1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The ending surprised me a little...looking forward to the rest of the books in the series :) "

" There were lots of plot holes, and it lacked some character development. That being said it was an interesting blend of historical fiction, a little mystery and a little romance. It was a fine book, but certainly not a great one. "

" This story was definitely a light read. I appreciated the story line, although I thought the premise was somewhat unrealistic. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding the story and did not anticipate the ending. "

" I always wonder why Christian fiction always portrays the bad guys as a) unredeemably bad and b) relentlessly rude. Isn't there such a thing as deceptively smarmy? Other than that rant, this is a perfectly fine Christian historical romance. I won't count it as a gentle read, due to several murders and assaults "

" This book was aggravating. The Christian messages felt fake and preachy though luckily the book was not saturated with them. The writing and transitions were jumpy, not fleshed out, and at times incoherent- just plain choppy. The opening of the book was rough. The only thing keeping me reading was my slight curiosity of the mystery. Not recommended. "

" I really enjoyed this book! A twist of mystery and romance made this a fast and hard to put down read. "

" I really wanted to like this book. I like the time period & setting - early 1900s. And I like the plot & idea of the story. However, I didn't like the writing. The characters were really flat/ one demensional & some passages were awkward. Its the first in a series. I'm not planning on reading the rest. "

" I liked the story but had a hard time connecting to the story. I don't know why. It had a lot of great elements but I seemed to just struggle through it. The love story was fine but I had a hard time feeling any sizzle or connection between the two. Maybe it was me that was off. "

" Fast-paced, easy-to-read, relaxing. This was my first Colleen Coble novel. I look forward to reading others. "

" 3.5 stars This is light Christian fiction, which to me means it doesn't get preachy at all. I enjoyed the bit of mystery in this romance. I'm a fan of CA so the beach and lighthouse setting was like a piece of home. Nice, easy read that kept me interested from beginning to end. "

" Very relaxing read, just what I needed! "

" I love books like this because it contains both mystery and romance as well as some action. It is one of those books that you keep reading so that you can discover the answers. "

" My favorite of the series, love the history and mystery that overpower the romance. "

" I loved it! I didn't see what was coming! "

" The title of this book caught my attention (I have a soft spot for lighthouses), and I'm glad it did. This was a wonderful book to read, it was full of mystery, romance and at times, suspense. I enjoyed the lighthouse scenes and the time period (early 1900's). Very refreshing! "

" It was okay, but didn't hold my interest like I would like a book to do. "

" I enjoyed this book and was surprised by the villain identity. "

" I really liked this book. It was a good mix of romance, action, and mystery. It is also historical fiction. My favorite thing, though, was that it was clean!! I am always on the hunt for a good author that writes cleanly. "

" The book was good. Typical romance and mystery "

" Very good book. It's always nice to come across a writer who can totally capture you when reading their books. Highly recommend. "

" I love her books. This one was very different than her others and I liked it. She does a great job making everyone seem like a bad guy making it a great story. "

" It was good, but at some points I found it unbelievable, when it was trying to be believable. "

" I love the mystery and romance. A good Sunday afternoon read! Nothing mind blowing or touching, but it was a unique story line, which I love! If you're looking for an adventure with a good dose of romance, this is the one for you! "

" Wonderful book! I can hardly wait to read more by this author. "

" At first, I thought this book was just your average Christian historical fiction...but there were some good, unexpected twists at the end that impressed me. I enjoyed it quite a lot. "

" I love Colleen Coble books (mysteries) and I love lighthouses. This book, set in 1907, was more of a romance than a mystery but I did enjoy reading it. "

" I always enjoy reading a good book that interesting, has a little bit of romance, but is still cleaning. And that's what this was. It was a light fun read. "

" I like a good historical fiction. This keeps you wondering who did it- easy read "

" I really liked this book. It was a good mix of romance, action, and mystery. It is also historical fiction. My favorite thing, though, was that it was clean!! I am always on the hunt for a good author that writes cleanly. "

" Great read.... Really enjoyed... Although I figured out what was going to happen about mid way through... There was a couple of I expected twist... Looking forward to hearing more of the characters stories! "

" A little mystery and some romance and no foul language was used which is hard to find in a book anymore "

" I decided to give Colleen Coble another try with THE LIGHTKEEPER'S DAUGHTER. I enjoyed the mystery along with the romance in this book. Colleen did a good job with the mystery in this book. It's what kept me reading. "

" I liked this book, but it was not one of my favorites. "

" I didn't realize this book was faith based at first, but it was incredibly romantic and I love God, too, so I forged ahead and really enjoyed it! "

" Another great book (first in a series)by Colleen Coble. "

" I enjoyed reading the Lightkeeper's Daughter. I found it refreshing to read a book that is clean and yet includes mystery romance. It also has reference to God's love for his children. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical romance with mystery. "

" Easy read and has some twist. Good beach book. "
